Got the last of my "winter mods" today, my new license plate. I picked it up from the DMV, washed the bike, lubed the chain then snapped some pictures which are below. Don't know why the color of the vinyl looks that far off, it's maybe 1 shade different.

So far this winter, if you want to call it that in Cali, I did-
Full detail including clay bar, polish, 2 coats of wax
Vinyl wrapped the frame
Spark plugs, cleaned K&N
Ceramic coated the exhaust after welding in a O2 bung
Tore the muffler apart, ceramic coated it then repacked it
Installed a Zero Gravity double bubble
Installed a set of Proton flush mounts after a light tinting
Tinted my rear integrated taillight red for the OEMish look
Installed a flasher relay
Deleted my charcoal canister
Installed a Power Commander Autotuner
Ordered a chain guard for a XJ, had it shipped over then powder coated gloss black
Did some shaving to my license plate bracket then powder coated it black
Lastly, installed my new license plate

WOW...great looking bike man. That red vinyl wrap looks great, and that carbon fiber can looks really cool as well. Nice design skills sir.

Gytr, couple people including jonkerr use that can. Probably modded stock exhaust (Marthy style) or r6 headers.

Looks great, man. What did you use for the vinyl wrap? I'm also curious where you got the chain guard and the radiator guard.

How will the wrap hold up if the frame gets hot ? It's been a loooong winter and I can't recall if the FZ6R frame absorbs much heat from the motor or not.

Have you thought about painting or wrapping the fork lowers black ?

Sorry for the late reply fellas, busy with school, work and now in the market to buy a house. Thanks for the props, been working on it a lot lately along with driving it. Doesn't look like it has 22K miles on it but it does.

It a R6 header with a GYTR slip on. If you skipped the ceramic coating I did it would run you about $300-$350.

I used 3M wrap, can't remember the exact shade off of the top of my head. I bout a roll that was like 5 feet wide, have like 4 feet left. I can send you some to do the frame or otherwise, wouldn't charge you but shipping. I made the radiator guard, the chain guard was bought off of ebay UK and shipped over. The link to where I got it is YAMAHA xj6 alloy chain guard new genuine item (s) | eBay

It a medium weight metal I picked up from my local welding shop. It is held in place with some L shaped brackets I made. I bent it to the shape of the radiator and used the radiator mounting points for the brackets. I am actually thinking about doing a new one in a month or some, something with an aluminum frame and a different material.

I've put over 1K on it since the wrap with no issues thus far. I wouldn't suspect there would be any issues from heat because you are/can use a heat gun when you apply it although I didn't I just stretched it and was able to get it to wrap all the way around with no bubbles, wrinkles or otherwise. I though about wrapping the front forks but it would be hard because of the reflector mounting tabs and the flat part where the bolt for the wheel goes through as you can't wrap that part because the bolt would tear it up when you tightened it.

Look good! Doesn't your leg contact your muffler when you have your feet on the ground?

Just wanted to but this up with an update. Everything is holding up good including the vinyl wrap on the frame and the ceramic coating on the exhaust. Looks just as good as the day I installed everything :)
